Israeli contractor BlackCore trained Angolan officials in online influence operations
An Israeli contractor called BlackCore provided training to Angolan government officials in online influence operations, including creation of fake social media accounts and media outlets, according to researchers. The engagement highlights how commercial influence-for-hire firms operate across borders to support state-backed information campaigns.
Why it matters: Organizations tracking information operations, disinformation campaigns, and state-backed influence efforts need to understand commercial intermediaries and their client relationships to assess the scope and sophistication of coordinated inauthentic behavior.
